Wolfram presents intriguing ideas, such as the claim that beyond a certain minimal threshold, nearly all processes—natural or artificial—are computationally equivalent in sophistication
In my view, an effective teacher should possess the following qualities: [...] Realistically, not all teachers I’ve encountered meet these criteria. Good teachers are scarce resources
As a former teacher, I 100% agree.
why developed countries typically have more qualified teachers than developing ones.
I am not sure I understand this part. How specifically does being a developed country increase the number of teachers able to do the Socratic method etc.? (I could make a guess, but I am interested in your interpretation.)
My intention was to highlight that “good teachers are scarce resources.” I didn’t mean to suggest a causal link between a country’s development stage and the quantity of its good teachers. My observation was simply that developed countries tend to have more educational institutions. While more institutions might not automatically equate to better ones, a larger pool of teachers could increase the probability of finding more good teachers.
This is known in computer science as Turing completeness.
